No idea.

Yoko s.Drives aren't bad though.
Good wet/dry traction.
And I think they sell for about $70/tire now for 205/50/15.

Default Sticky Tires vs Price vs Tread wear

For what I'm willing to pay, Falkens work pretty good.
---------------------------------------------------------
Check Tirerack.com and compare the traction numbers versus price.
Get a sheet of paper and a calculator. List on one line: tire brand, tire size, price, traction and tire wear numbers from the side of the tire.

1.Divide price into traction number. The highest number will be the best deal of traction per dollar.

2. Decide how much you are willing to spend.
--------------------------------------------------
Of the tires in your chosen price range,......Next divide tread wear by traction. The LOWEST number will be the best deal of traction per miles driven.

Other people have their own ideas.......-Bob

the 55r is going to be the absolute stickiest thing you will get, but they literally will not last you 5k miles..and after 3/32nds they turn into a slick with two grooves in them.

I would look at the hankook rs3.

I just mounted some Potenza RE760 sports on my wheels. Havent had a chance to test them, I know they wont be the stickiest but for the money they seemed like the best thing out there for wear vs grip. You have to trade something for something longer life or more grip. I just figured the RE760 sports were a nice even balance.
